2023 Map of Plug Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Stansbury Island rises prominently from the western reaches of the Great Salt Lake, defining a landscape where steep elevation meets the vast salt flats and shorelines of Tooele County. This modern survey details the landform's central heights, including the summit of Plug Peak and the distinctive formation at Castle Rock. The eastern shoreline is shaped by the indentations of Stansbury Bight and Cradle Bay, where the transition from mountainous terrain to the lake bed is immediate and stark. Deeply etched drainages like Ben Allen Canyon, Cane Canyon, and Shanty Canyon cut through the island's interior, providing essential runoff paths toward the saline waters. Vital freshwater sources, specifically Cane Spring and Shanty Spring, are noted along these slopes, highlighting the rare hydrological features that have historically supported life in this arid, isolated environment.
